Ex-ASU Coach Todd Graham's Championship Rings Stolen In Tempe

TEMPE, AZ — When former Arizona State University head football coach Todd Graham moved to Hawaii earlier this year for a new job, he left some of his most valuable items with a friend in Tempe. Now, they're gone.

The Tempe Police Department confirmed Friday that a woman reported that her car had been broken into in north Tempe. Valuables including jewelry, clothes, cash and electronics were stolen, as well as approximately $10,000 dollars worth of diamond bowl rings.

Tempe police spokesperson Detective Greg Bacon told Patch the report was filed on Tuesday around 12:30 p.m. The break-in was believed to have occurred sometime the night before or early that morning before 11 a.m.

The victim indicated that she was willing to press charges against whoever stole the items.

Graham's wife Penni told TMZ Sports the rings belonged to her husband. They had been left with a friend during their move to Hawaii.

"So much went into earning those rings, especially his National Championship ring, as a coach in 1992." Penni told the outlet. "17 rings from years of blood, sweat and tears. He is devastated."

Graham served as head coach at ASU from 2012 through 2017. He took a head coaching job at the University of Hawaii in January.

The investigation is ongoing.
